They know there are a lot of moving parts when packing & preparing to move out, so here’s a helpful reminder with important info for changing your mailing address with USPS 7-10 days before move-out: *NOTE* The above site is an official website of the US Government! There are lots of scam sites for the US Postal Service, Department of Motor Vehicles, etc., that try to make you think they’re official US Government sites, and then try to get you to pay for their services. 2 things to look for to tell if a site is an official US Government site:
A site ending in “.gov” is an official US Government site (as opposed to “.com” or “.co” etc). All branches of the US Federal government use “.gov” as a domain name Look at the web address in the browser bar. An official US Government site will start with “https://” NOT “http://” (the S means it is a secure, encrypted site) property has all the info on changing your mailing address, but long story short, the two ways to change your mailing address are: Change address online  *NOTE* You will get an immediate email confirmation, but know that if you want to change your address online, there is a $1 charge to a credit or debit card in your name as identity verification & it says right on the site: You don’t need to pay a separate company to change your address. Scammers may charge $40 or more to do what you can do for just $1 using the moving section of the official website. Also, if your new address will be outside the US, it is recommended that you use the second method below and go to your local post office Go to a local post office and request “Mover’s Guide Packet” Inside the packet is PS Form 3575. Fill out this change of address form and give it to a postal worker behind the counter (RECOMMENDED IF NEW ADDRESS IS OUTSIDE THE US) or drop it into the letter mail slot inside the post office. You should receive a confirmation letter at your new address in five business days. If mail is still arriving for you 30 days post-move-out, property will return mail to the post office as “return to sender”, so if you are receiving mail at your property house, be sure to change/update your mailing information 5-10 days before move-out

If you are a US citizen, they can only refund you by mailing you a check, please provide them with your new mailing address and they will send it to you.

Please understand if you used the link that property provided to purchase renters insurance, you then have a policy with SURE Insurance.

Your renter's insurance policy is an auto-renewing policy and covers you even as you move to new apartments (if you let SURE Insurance know that you moved).

All shared bedrooms (rooms with two beds in one bedroom) are gender-separated unless otherwise requested by a group. All other spaces of shared apartments (kitchens, living rooms, shared bathrooms, etc.) are shared by all. If you have rented a private bedroom, your bedroom is for you and you alone, however, the shared spaces of the apartment outside your bedroom are shared by all. If you plan to rent an entire apartment, none of this answer applies to you: you get to share your apartment with whomever you agree to share it with.
